Praise for Pandemia & Other Poems
Pandemia & Other Poems is a new scripture for the plague years. Unabashedly bi-lingual and pan-cultural, a creation myth in the face of destruction, a seed of renacimiento in our charred garden.
--Luis Alberto Urrea
Pandemia & Other Poems is the book we need right now. Edward Vidaurre’s tender, wise, jazz-singer words rise up and speak for this pandemic period when we realize our lungs connect us—and our stories and our songs.
--Sheila Black
This is the book to keep close to your heart.
--Juan Felipe Herrera, U.S. Poet Laureate, Emeritus
I highly recommend you take time to savor this poet-seers verses. Ase O!
--Odilia Galván Rodríguez
